ES6/JSX Syntax Highlighting different from WebStorm

Hi there,

first of all: I love the JetBrains IDEs. Have never worked so flawlessly with an IDE before.

One thing, that annoys me though, is that the Syntax Highlighting of JavaScript ES6 & JSX code is different from WebStorm and colors in less, which leads to me searching more for e.g. if something is a variable or a function.

Is there something wrong with my PHPStorm, or can I do something to make it better?

Hi there,

Please clarify your issue (provide screenshots of the same code in 2 IDEs etc)

Generally speaking: PhpStorm = WebStorm + PHP + Database support. Some plugins that come bundled with WebStorm by default need to be installed manually in PhpStorm. So there should be no differences in handling the same code (as long as both IDEs use the same set of plugins; same versions; same settings).

1) What IDE versions do you use (Help | About)?

2) Please provide screenshots of the same code in both IDEs (ideally whole IDE window -- it may provide some extra details; point the area with differences with some red rectangle or arrow -- stuff like that)

3) Actual code sample (same as on screenshots) so it can be copy-pasted for testing
